NAPS is the name for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). With NAPS, qualifying older Minnesota adults receive a free, USDA supplemental food package every month. Each package includes a nutritious balance of shelf-stable foods, plus reduced fat cheese. A typical monthly food package is valued at about 455 and includes canned fruits and vegetables, juice, dry and shelf stable milk, American cheese, canned meat, peanut butter, or dried beans, cereal, rice or pasta.

Minnesota residents may qualify for NAPS if:

- You are age 60 or older

- Your gross income meets NAPS guidelines (about the same as qualifying for SNAP benefits)

- You do not live in a facility that provides meals

NAPS is distributed at more than 200 sites around Minnesota each month. To learn if you qualify, call NAPS in your region.
